Urban henkeeping - en allt vanligare syn i Storbritannien
Små gräsplättar med pickande hönor blir, enligt The Guardian, en allt vanligare syn i Storbrittanien, nu även i städerna. Enligt artikeln har åtminstone en halv miljon hushåll i landet hönor, med en tydlig uppgång det senaste året.
"Urban henkeeping has become increasingly popular in recent years, but breeders and suppliers are reporting an "astonishing" rise in the number of UK households buying hens in the last 12 months or so, fuelled in part, they believe, by the economic downturn and growing pressure on family budgets.
...
Gerald Murray, a hen breeder and supplier from north-east Scotland, said it is possible to save up to £50 a year on eggs by keeping your own chickens, but does not think that economic concerns are the main driver. "You do save a bit, but people are doing it for their welfare and to get children involved . Hens are all individual, they are characters, they are fascinating to watch and to get to know and they bring the garden to life. A hen gives you so much more than an egg." "
